We cannot recommend Norm enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing in every way. We…read morehad a completely wild idea to hike to the top of Cloud's Rest in Yosemite in the middle of the night to get married at sunrise--and he was not only 100% on board but so excited for the opportunity! Not only did he capture that once-in-a-lifetime moment flawlessly, but he went above and beyond throughout the entire experience.
Norm was incredibly helpful in the planning process, suggesting the best spots, helping us build a smooth timeline, and making sure everything flowed perfectly. Our wedding happened right after the government shutdown started, and Norm was a huge help--he was already in the park and kept us informed, letting us know we wouldn't have any issues. That kind of support made everything so much less stressful.
He captured a breathtaking variety of photos--from afternoon shots in Yosemite Valley to night shots at Tenaya Lake and of course ceremony photos at the top. The night photos, in particular, blew us away, and anyone we've shown our photos to thinks they're absolutely stunning. Norm truly can cover it all: sunrise, sunset, day, night, posed, candid--you name it!
And let's not forget the 14-mile hike starting at 2am--he carried all his gear without a single complaint and even scouted the location solo a few days prior to make sure he knew exactly how to capture the best shots.
Beyond his photography skills, Norm was such a joy to be around. He fit our vibe perfectly, made us feel completely comfortable, and was genuinely fun to hang out with. His pricing was beyond fair, completely transparent, and straightforward, which made everything stress-free.
If you're planning an adventure elopement and want someone who will hike, plan, guide, laugh, and capture absolutely breathtaking photos with you, Norm is your guy! We are so grateful for him and the incredible memories he helped create and capture!!!
